nostr:npub1zllqunscwnl9cglux9jpfervrjvfrpjwlynrk6w258j0rq8fr5ushphscq How is it using a 42" TV as a monitor from a non gaming daily usage viewpoint ?

nostr:npub1e5ahd4xuuu3c03u6hrudvqcv0p04y6v4p078kuz566r78mk3k6aquwc4k6 Yeah I looked at Protonmail but she uses both and tbh for ease I've marked that one off for now but thank you anyway.

Right now to seriously start to look for our next email provider. I need to have 2 accounts which I have admin access over for billing and setup as my Wife doesn't always get on with tech. Give her a break though before you comment as I have converted her to Linux. Also I'll be pointing our domain at it too. So far #Fastmail look to tick all of those boxes and more. I'm needing rid of the Gmail which I currently use to host our email.

Now to just wait for the upcoming release when Qtile moves to wlroots0.16

Here's a really good read as to what can be achieved with #systemd and I have to say that it has even taught me a thing or two.

But we were chatting to the owners and they told us stories of visiting csmpervan tourists that complained sating the NC500 should be made one way. I just about spit my drink out laughing ! These are our roads and they've been like that for years and that's how they should stay. That's what gives northern Scotland it's characteristic charm.

nostr:npub100hcc4mkxgjz22j4rgg23qhgw9qdlaejlf2ukgz5z8w68mm2dlvsehs6u4 After testing on two different laptops. One being Intel based and the other AMD I still cannot run Qtile under Wayland. On the Intel I get an error about libinput quirks and on the AMD I get a seg fault after the above. Strange as I could run Qtile under Wayland on Arch on both machines before ? Needs further investigation and others using #VoidLinux to test the package qtile-wayland and post there results.

nostr:npub100hcc4mkxgjz22j4rgg23qhgw9qdlaejlf2ukgz5z8w68mm2dlvsehs6u4 I wonder if this is the issue ? In the #Qtile docs and as noted in the #ArchLinux AUR package qtile-wayland-git one of the dependencies is python-dbus-next yet this package doesn't exist in #VoidLinux

Just noticed that there is a PR in for a Qtile Wayland package in the #VoidLinux repo. Will Void have it before Arch ? 🤔

nostr:npub1m26pksxajls9yrmtwx0zcvptzcx33t8ht8mfc5sdpcje0tp4nz8q9l2jhh I've been using Vim Vixen and I'm quite happy, but can't compare if it's better than Vimium or else because it's the only vim-like addon I've tried. But maybe you want to test that. :)

#Firefox users that use vimium like extensions which is better ?

Vimium-FF or Vimium-C ?

Or is there something else to get the same Qutebrowser like key shortcuts for navigation ?

They also bring dead things in, and they poo smelly poo and widdle smelly widdle everywhere. Also very hard to trap. They're also vicious, so we don't want to live with them.

nostr:npub1avz276l0vz0xs3amfwg888k7muaelal9auuj9tdk79drz67zm89q7t8av6 Well that's plenty of reasons to categorise them as bad news then.

I tried installing the deps using pip install pkgname --user then cloned the qtile git repo and ran from within that pip install . The dot is important mind ;) But on void I'm getting an AMD GPU seg fault on my thinkpad that used to run qtile wayland and on my intel test rig errors about libinput and device-quirks. Let me know if you try the above and it works for you.
